Just wondering,  is there a story - timeline floating out there somewhere--with the years?  I just remember when I read the book, I got confused. Knowing that FJ's love spanned over 2000 years and with reincarnation,  shadows, etc.. different people...it got all boggle up.

And now re-reading the story, just the first couple of pages, they mentioned series of years just within the first chapter.

 

Is there already someone dedicated to complete the timeline?  If so, can you shoot it my way....totally appreciate it. 

 

 

I did tried to summarized the timeline before, but not sure the accuracy though.

I was hoping someone would add Pillow Book events into the timeline. I couldn't find any online, so maybe we can come out with one?  

I have prepared a rough draft of the major events. The first 2 are from Kakashi's timeline, the rest are based on info in PB novel.

5th May : Supposedly the last immortalization ceremony at the Jade Pond

 

A week later, Donghua went on a suicide mission at the holy Blue Sea to prevent apocalypse

 

Note: Aranya's timeline was so messed up, so I just skipped everything.

Dongfeng age gap is only around 360,000 years...he's not that old 

Feel free to add/amend the timeline.

 

After reading the book for so many times, I think I can watch PB without english sub

LOL oh my gosh let's hope it doesn't take THAT long for Pillow Book to air  

[yoohoo84]

I haven't checked in for months and then all the sudden I came across the trailer, OMG, I'm so happy!! I was tired of waiting to be honest so I kept busy with other fantasy dramas. I got to say from first look, the cinematography and CGI for this drama is so different from the other dramas I've seen. This is what a fantasy drama should look like, I'm so excited guys!!!

I found this on YouTube. I think the uploader got most of the scenes right.

Credit to uploader

 

For the most part, I agree with her description except:

0:18 - MAIDEN festival - not girl

0:38  book 1 - DH trained FJ to win the competition in FY Valley for the Saha fruit prize

0:52 - this could also be the first night FJ woke up as herself AFTER DH brought herback to FY Valley after escaping Aranya's Dreamverse. i.e. after he altered her memories and she woke up seeing the Manjusaka flowers.

1:53 WHen FJ turned herself into a handkerchief 

2:40 When FJ started crying while looking at the moon after MoShao talked about craning her neck to hold her tears back (re: her failed love story with DH).

 

Anyhoo, just my speculation. Don't know how much or the original book content they retained in the adaptation.

I think for 0:38 Its when Fengjiu fight miao lou, there is a leak fancam for that and she is wearing the same clothes and there is blood stain on Donghua's sleeve.

There is also a leak scene for when Donghua taught her for the competition and she is wearing a red clothes

I think I have to agree with the @Sisca_TVXQ and the vid on 0:38, for 0:52 I still feel like it's probably after they do the deed  lol
I don't think 1:53 is when she's a handkerchief (though there is a clip of it in the trailer ^_^) but it's of FJ as a fox
And at 2:40 (though I'm really looking forward to the crying scene, can't wait to have my heart broken! haha) to me it looks either like the inner FJ as a fox or FJ as a maid, because the clip looks more like a playful FJ.

Other scenes from the book that I hope will also make it to the TV adaptation other than the ones that are evident based on the recent trailer release. It's a long and demanding list but a girl can dream afterall... :

FJ jumping out of the water at BQ's wedding

FJ fighting the Chiyan beast and getting saved by DH

FJ's  back-to-back matchmaking dates where she dirties her clothes up

FJ bathing in the spring behind DH's abode in JCT

FJ turning herself into a handkerchief

End of Book 1 when DH finds out about FJ's history of pursuing him

Beginning of Book 2 when DH finds FJ and she kisses him thinking it's a dream

Aranya on the boat and was given an aphrodisiac

Aranya in the cave after XZ fights the water dragon

When FJ wakes up after returning from Aranya's Dreamverse

MengShao's shattered fantasy about what the real FJ is like

FJ's days leading up to the BC ceremony

100 Luan birds scene and thereafter

DH finds out GG is his son.

 LOL it's not demanding, we DESERVE this much considering how long they made us wait hahaha...well we're still waiting  lol...
Absolutely for me, I'm so eager to see the bathing in the spring scene!! It's so funny and sweet with DH covering FJ as Lian Song walks in on them lol, that had me dying 
Handkerchief scene also had me dead, thankfully that was in the teaser 
Omg this scene --> "Beginning of Book 2 when DH finds FJ and she kisses him thinking it's a dream" 
Hilarioussss!! I'd be soooo sad if they left this one out 
I wonder how much they're gonna PG-down the kiss scenes, 'cause they're pretty um ~saucy~ in the book lol 
Basically at the end of the day I hope to be blushing, screaming, and laughing like a lunatic at my screen as I watch all the romantic and funny goodies in the Pillow Book! Ahh can't wait!

I can only wish.....  Dilreba is not really good with intimacy scenes. Maybe she'll be better this time since she herself has romantic inclinations towards the DH character herself PLUS she's been acting much more these past few years.

Hmm I haven't seen too much of her romantic stuff but from what I have seen of her work, I feel like she does better in more humorous and cute moments. Like I'm sure the scenes with her as a baby fox will be really cute, and all the comedic parts will show her talents.
I won't keep my hopes too high for the romance but I hope the directing and editing are able to help with any inefficiencies in the acting. 
If anything, I always have the book to go back too lol

* Love all of your listed..also my                   favourites. 

 

Just an added: PB1 part 1

 

sumo Flowerpot incident ( DH's true     first impression on FJ on YeHua/Bai  Qian wedding)

 

Qing Yun Hall when FJ dropped to        the floor and played dead........not        before she said she's sleepwalking..

 

FJ crushed the tea cup with just one  hand and Liansong says to DH              " that's scary good".

 

except for FJ, no one dared to                gainsay DH infront of everyone. ( i love to see when FJ being sarcastic    without being too obvious.) 

 

DH carried wasted and drunk FJ to      Ah LI palace. Because of FJ won't          let go of DH's coat/purple robe,            DH let FJ take his purple robe. Ah Li go to his parents palace and        called out from a courtyard " DH            gege carried FJ jiejie back Qing'Yun     palace.FJ jiejie kept pulling him back      and won't let him go. DH gege had to hold her for a long time. Oh yeah, he also took off his clothes..."

DH heard what's FJ said about him       "what a real weirdo.." 

 

I heard I was a weirdo, what's so            strange a weirdo using a lady                  handkerchief. - DH.

 

DH and Xiao Yan confrontation at        Mount Fuyu..they have a very                hilarious conversation before the  fight.

It's most likely going to air next year, probably early next year. I asked WeTV English if they're going to sub it and why they're not promoting it and they said they will when it airs next year.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo  next year???? Whyyyyy, whyyy?  If they choose to air it next year, why they would air it in january of february, when they could do it in the summer? They are doing like this usually..they are keeping their best dramas for the summer. I will go crazy if i have to wait another year, honestly.

 

On another note, it is rummored that The wolf will be airing in december on TV. It's another drama that we have been waiting for such a long time to air. Hope it's true..meh
